Ok the definative answer is in image EPW057946 which shows the factory as a nice green field in 1938	Dave Brunt	Monday 11th of August 2014 02:39:55 PM
Thanks Dave, it was a nice idea but the evidence is conclusive - this night-shot isn't the Adhesive Tape Works in Borehamwood. Back to the drawing board. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader	Katy Whitaker	Monday 11th of August 2014 02:39:55 PM
If you drop into street view on Elstree Way the building in question has been demolished, however if you drop into street view on the service road along side you get this image, which clearly shows that the frontage does not have the 3,2,1 step down	Dave Brunt	Saturday 9th of August 2014 12:00:23 AM
Looking on the 1945 Google earth images of the Factory at the location suggested there are 2 frontages that may be candidates for the image. However the one down the right with the bus stop symbol over it has the 'northen lights' roof running the wrong way so it can't be that one. Whic leaves the one facing onto elstree Way. This does have the roof running the correct way but:- a) it does not have the centre section of roof lights b) does not have the 3 2 1 step down in stories c) I don't think it is long enough There are records cnfirming that this was the factory of Adhesive Tape Ltd in Borehamwood, so if the information is correct then maybe there was more than one factory, however search engine results for Adhesive Tape Ltd are few and far between and non mention a 2nd addresss.

Hi all, Just to say that we are aware this one is still the wrong way, I have actioned this change so should hopefully appear in due course. With respect to the possible location I have found some information to suggest it could be the Adhesive Tape Works though I've not been able to ascertain when the factory was built on this site which may rule it out completely! Would welcome any thoughts on this. Angharad	Angharad Wicks	Friday 8th of August 2014 03:14:18 PM
See the attached photo of the Firestone tyre & Rubber Co. factory floodlit at night 1930. This unlocated photo does not appear to be of the same location.	Class31	Saturday 15th of March 2014 08:44:10 PM
Hmm, looks like we still need to move this image. I've recently been looking at the Firestone Tyre and Rubber Co factory, photographed in the 1950s, on the Great West Road - and there are some similarities. Anyone like to comment on this possible location? I'd be especially interested in contemporary evidence (e.g. company prospectus, newspaper report of new factory opening) that would give us more information about the layout/lighting/facade of the main building.

Looking at the pictures on this page http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~garycr/2001/firestone_factory/ the firestone factory seems to be uniform height for most if not all of the frontage - however when flipped this image seems to fit more with a design such as the Ripaults factory http://www.modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/ripaults-factory.html [though it isn't quite a match] with a 3 floor centre 2 floor middle and single floor wings	Dave Brunt	Friday 14th of March 2014 09:52:59 PM
Looks like a factory	Mark Amies	Friday 14th of March 2014 03:30:30 PM
I think you're probably right. We'll arrange for the image to be flipped.	Hefin Meara	Thursday 29th of August 2013 04:25:06 PM
I think Hamish is correct. This would appear to be an art deco factory, similar to some to be found on the Great West Road etc. (e.g. EPW032164). Are there any other night shots on here? Night flights must have been rather unusual.	Tony D	Friday 31st of May 2013 12:31:44 AM
this photograph is upside down	Hamish Fenton	Wednesday 15th of May 2013 11:42:49 PM
